About the Leon Cupra R Mk III

The 2017 SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,453 kg with 306 bhp, which works out at 210 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.30 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,489th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 3rd quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 106.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III reaches 60 mph in 5.32 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,489th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III quarter mile time?
13.60 s at 106.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.96 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III have?
306 bhp and 1,453 kg, which is 210 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 263 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 308 GTi 1.6 THP 272 (5.30 s), Alpina B10 Biturbo (5.25 s), Nissan 370Z Nismo (5.29 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
